1 Samuel 15:23-25

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft; and transgression is wickedness and idolatry. Because you have cast away the Word of the LORD, therefore He has cast away you from being king.”

²⁴ Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned. For I have transgressed the Commandment of the LORD, and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

²⁵ “Now, therefore, please take away my sin and turn back with me, so that I may worship the LORD.”
